First on English I got 35000, then I did another test and got 76000. There are just so many legal and scientific terms that pop up here... Edited by GREGORG4000 on 02 October 2010 at 5:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Perhaps it would be better if it was an auditory test. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It would certainly be more difficult

I got 36000 on the French test. Many non-natives here got a close score. Don't forget that the criteria was to be able to give the word's definition, not just understand it, recognize it or be familiar with it. Otherwise, it doesn't say much for the credibility of the test. Not to mention that a person could potentially know a lot more words that the 43000 that the test mesures.

English 117,000 (checked each one that I knew to verify I did actually have the right definition in mind) but like an earlier poster was presented with a high proportion of scientific and other specialised terms from my various experiences [I won't use sphere of expertise because I dont have one as such]
French 22572: I didnt check these in the same way as I got a little bored with it. Both of these seem high but if I do know 22572 French words I would be delighted. Astounded but delighted. Now to get Polish into four digits. 1 person has voted this message useful |
